Useful idiot.

[krapp]

My idiocy is useful to science and the public welfare, whereas yours is useful to snake-oil salesmen and quacks.

The only assertion I make is that it's better for medicine to be regulated and have standards than not.

You didn't merely make the bald-faced assertion, you were very rude about it with your snide "ftfy".

I've studied this stuff for years. I understand your status quo view, that thinks that good intentions are a substitute for philosophic rigor. Your view doesn't stand up to rational scrutiny, and it's holding all of mankind back.
